The LPS Diaphyseal Sleeve to Diaphyseal Sleeve Base taper connection may not be sufficient to accommodate potential physiologic loads that may be transferred to the junction during normal gait activities by some patients. This may result in fracture of the sleeve at the taper joint which may also lead to loss of function or loss of limb, infection, compromised soft tissue or death.

If you or a loved one had hip replacement surgery after July 2003, please contact your orthopaedic surgeon or the hospital where your surgery took place to determine whether you received a DePuy ASR™ Hip Implant. Studies recently show that up to one in two patients may have to undergo revision surgeries due to the defective hip implant.

Kentucky Man Files Suit Against Zimmer For Selling Him Defective Artificial Hip That Caused Him Extreme Pain For More Than Two and a Half Years

Fleishman of the national plaintiffs' law firm Lieff Cabraser Heimann & Bernstein, LLP, and Philip Grossman of the Louisville, Kentucky law firm of Grossman & Moore, PLLC, announced that Mark Kevin Nunn today filed a lawsuit against Zimmer Inc., the nation's largest producer of orthopedic devices. Nunn suffered constant and devastating pain for more than 2 ½ years and was forced to undergo a second hip replacement surgery in April 2010 due to a defective hip implant manufactured and sold by Zimmer as the Durom Cup.

The New York Times ran a series of articles exposing several incidents where patients received excessive dosages of radiation, in some cases, resulting in their death.
